Crown Prince Akishino and Crown Princess Kiko attended a memorial ceremony for victims of work-related fatalities at Takao Mikoromo Reido memorial hall in Hachioji, Tokyo, on Wednesday.
The Imperial couple offered flowers for the 2,384 people whose deaths were certified as work-related last fiscal year.
About 600 people attended the ceremony, including bereaved families. The crown prince spoke to some of the attendees, asking them questions and expressing his regrets.
